This unique text is an accessible and practical guide addressing legal and related issues stemming from the deprivation of liberty of children and young people.
It provides a roadmap to the deprivation of liberty of children and young people, from initially identifying that a child or young person may be deprived of their liberty or that a deprivation of liberty may be required, through to taking an application to court and the course of proceedings. This includes the scope of the Family Court, the Court of Protection and the Family Division of the High Court.
This title:
- Defines a deprivation of liberty, considering how this may look for both children and young people (under 16s and 16 and 17 year olds)
- Explores how a deprivation of liberty may be authorised, including the different statutory schemes and courts
- Considers the intersection with care proceedings and the interplay between deprivations of liberty and the Children Act 1989
- Explains the different placement types for children and young people including placements outside of the jurisdiction
- Provides practical guidance on the transition of children into adulthood
- Includes case law summaries
The book unpacks the complicated and convoluted issues surrounding this challenging area of law, and in doing so, supports advocates, practitioners, parents, family and carers who are involved in the lives of children and young people who are deprived of their liberty.
This title is also available within Bloomsbury Professional's Family Law online service.
